With 100% of the vote reporting in the Wyoming Democratic Party Caucus, Barack Obama has won with 61% of the vote to Hillary Clinton's 38%.
Out of curiosity, I decided to watch tonight's ABC evening news report to see how they reported on this newest development in the Democratic Party nominating process.
After their coverage of the nasty snowstorms in Ohio and the Northeast, they got around to politics, reporting that Obama was the projected winner in the Wyoming Caucus. And then, without missing a beat, the news anchor reported a poll showing that Hillary had narrowed Obama's national lead down to Obama-49% Clinton-48%, wondering if Obama would be able to slow Hillary's "surge"!
Let's talk about Hillary's "surge"!
Since winning the Primaries in Rhode Island, Ohio and Texas Hillary Clinton has lost the Texas Caucus and the Wyoming Caucus! (Some surge!)
Wouldn't it be nice if the MSM started focusing on these facts:
Obama has won 29 contest's to Hillary's 15!
Here are the facts....
Barack Obama's victories:
1. Iowa Caucus
2. South Carolina Primary
3. Alabama Primary
4. Alaska Caucus
5. Colorado Caucus
6. Connecticut Primary
7. Delaware Primary
8. Georgia Primary
9. Idaho Caucus
10. Illinois Primary
11. Kansas Caucus
12. Minnesota Caucus
13. Missouri Primary
14. North Dakota Caucus
15. Utah Primary
16. Louisiana Primary
17. Nebraska Caucus
18. Virgin Islands Caucus
19. Maine Caucus
20. District of Columbia Primary
21. Maryland Primary
22. Virginia Primary
23. Democrats Abroad Primary
24. Hawaii Caucus
25. Washington Caucus
26. Wisconsin Primary
27. Vermont Primary
28. Texas Caucus
29. Wyoming Caucus
(Obama has won 15 Primaries and 14 Caucuses)
Hillary Clinton's victories:
1. New Hamsphire Primary
2. Nevada Caucus
3. Arizona Primary
4. Arkansas Primary
5. California Primary
6. Massachusetts Primary
7. New Jersey Primary
8. New Mexico Caucus
9. New York Primary
10. Oklahoma Primary
11. Tennessee Primary
12. American Samoa
13. Ohio Primary
14. Rhode Island Primary
15. Texas Primary
(Hillary has won 12 Primaries and 3 Caucuses)
Primaries won:
Obama: 15
Clinton: 12
Caucuses won:
Obama: 14
Clinton: 3
This goes to prove that Obama is able to win more primaries than Clinton, and that she also fails miserably in the Caucus setup (tho' both knew ahead of time that they would be in Caucus contests).
So, if this is Hillary's "surge", I say - "Keep on losing Hillary!"
Barack Obama has clearly proven to be the best overall Democratic party candidate from Day One!
Barack Obama for President!
